The partner companies we work with are critical to our success and never more so than when we select and cooperate with an IRT service provider. With a little careful thought and a positive internal approach our partnerships can be streamlined, efficient and rewarding for both sponsor and IRT vendor alike resulting in better IRT systems, built more speedily, at reduced cost and with a fraction of the customary frustration and duplication of effort.

In this session, you’ll learn:

Appreciating the importance of positive vendor partnerships

Developing a streamlined sponsor/vendor relationship

A modern approach to UAT

Best practices for UAT and beyond
